Very nice cottage. Quaint and close (2blocks) to beach. Second time here and love the front porch sitting on a quiet street. Coffee maker had moldy coffee grinds when we arrived, some windows were left unlocked upon first entering the house, and a container of McDonalds fries were left in the upstairs bedroom between bed and nightstand. Perhaps a more thorough attention to detail in cleaning is needed, otherwise a wonderful stay with a well equipped kitchen. Thank you!

After many years staying with family in South Haven, this was the first time we'd stayed "as far south" of downtown as this or took advantage of the Kids Corner park a block away. It was a great location for accessing the park, the beach, and the bike trail (starts across the street) that heads south to Van Buren State Park. The house was ideal for our family of five and a mid-week visitor. Having the main restroom off the kitchen was no deal for us, but might be something that some groups might find less than ideal. As advertised, the house was well stocked with kitchen gear and tableware. There were also lots of supplies for the beach...chairs, umbrellas, wagon, bikes, raft, toys, etc. It is a great Cottage on the Corner.

We really enjoyed our stay here for our family vacation! It is so close to the kid's corner park and the blue stairs to the beach. It was so nice to just walk there instead of loading the kids in and out of the car each time. It's a really quiet area and was so relaxing to sit out on the front porch at night. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need including a ton of kids plates bowls and cups silverware, high chair, 2 different coffee makers, air fryer and more. We also met the owner while we were there and she was so nice! I definitely recommend this place for families!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage in South Haven. It was very clean and the location was absolutely perfect- just a quick walk down the street to the playground and beach, and a short walk to town. The house had everything we needed and we loved the front porch and appreciated the old house charm. We would love to go back!

4 blocks from the beach and 1/2 a mile from the downtown shops - was the perfect place for my girlfriends and I to stay. Although 'in town' it was quiet enough to open the windows to listen to the waves without traffic noise. Will definitely be back!

We love South Haven and the property was amazing. It would be perfect for the summer and we may have to try to return during that time of year. We came to visit family and enjoyed the house very much.

This is an absolutely great location near the playground and beach with super well equipped kitchen. It was hard not having a bathroom upstairs though as we had small children that had to go up and down the stairs.

Had a great stay for Shop til you drop Saturday. Great quiet location with walking distance to town. Wonderful room for all six of us. Enjoyed the porch and deck even if it was on the cooler side. Communication with the owner was exceptional. Highly recommend.

We stayed at Cottage on the Corner for 5 days over fall break. Our group of 6 was very comfortable in the house and had everything we needed for a great stay. We cooked a couple meals at the house and the kitchen is better stocked than any house we have ever rented. We enjoyed the front porch swing and used the provided bikes. We loved being so close to Kid’s Korner and the blue stairs.

Our overall stay was wonderful! Great location! Close to Lake Michigan. Very walkable!!
We had two concerns. #1. Both full baths are on the first floor. #2. The steps are narrow going upstairs and when you almost get to the top of stairs, there is no railing to grab on to at the top. Can be dangerous of older people.

Great location and the front porch is amazing. The upstairs bedrooms are not ideal if you need to use a bathroom during the night because the floors squeak like crazy. The house itself is perfect for a small group and you can’t beat the location!

My husband, tween-age kids and our dear friends all stayed at the cottage for 4 days and 3 nights and we lvoed it! The location was as ideal is it gets - we walked EVERYWHERE, to South Beach and all around the downtown South Haven area. When we had issues with the dryer not working, the owners responded and let us know we didn't have to worry about starting a laundry load before leaving. The bunk bed was noisy when my kids turned in bed, and the floors were creaky upstairs but that is to be expected in an older home! I only mention it because for light sleepers it might be an issue, but my kids slept fine with the sound machine on we brought from home. The neighborhood was very quiet at night even with the blueberrry festival going on! We were very happy at the cottage and would absolutely come back.

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cottage! Plenty of space for all of us and every amenity we needed courteous of our thoughtful hosts. Easy walk to the beach and incredible playground. Peaceful front porch with a swing to watch the world go by. Highly recommend as a great place to get away!

We needed a Michigan fix and decided on South Haven for fall break. The Cottage on the Corner was all that we needed and more. Our kids loved the proximity to the park and we lucked out with amazing weather so access to the beach was too easy as well. The house was clean and roomy for our family of 4, and my kids (5and 8) loved the outdoor spaces on the front porch and back deck. They diligently swept off all the leaves for 45 min one afternoon and were so happy- great for
mom and dad! The only thing I couldn’t find was a teapot.
Otherwise it had all you could want in the kitchen , and I very well could have missed it in all that cabinet space! A wonderful space where memories were made. Thank you for such a welcoming place in this sweet Michigan town.

This home away from home was perfect for my family (Me, husband, son, son's best friend, and my mother)!
The house has everything we needed (except dressers, but that's no big deal). The boys LOVED being so close to kid's corner, and we are Blue Stairs people so being a straight shot was perfect.
The house was very clean and felt like it was recently spruced.
The ensuite off the main floor primary is absolutely charming. I called it the Harry Potter bathroom all week. A very clever use of space to give an old home a little something modern!
The porch is also something special. Great size, love the corner for people watching, and the swings wonderful.
We would absolutely stay here again. We plan on adding a furbaby to the family this year, so we won't stay again anytime soon, as we need a pet friendly rental. If we are back in SoHa, pet free, we definitely hope we can snag this gem again!

Great, property, loved how close it was to the kids corner and beach access. The porch swing was very relaxing. Home is clean and nicely decorated. Owners are VERY responsive and kind. Would like to stay again.

The owner was wonderful to work with. The location of the house was perfect - close to Kids Korner and the Blue Stairs that lead down to South Beach. We sure enjoyed the wonderful front porch with the swing and the back deck offered another useful outside place for us to hang out. So appreciated the use of the bicycles and beach chairs. The indoor space was limiting for our family. The layout was inconvenient for spending family time in the living room as it was so small. The master bedroom had an extremely small bathroom tucked under the stairway. Plus there wasn’t a dresser, so we had to live out of our suitcase. There is no bathroom upstairs for anyone staying in those two bedrooms. The bunk bed was so squeaky our granddaughter wasn’t able to sleep on the upper bunk leaving us short one bed. The house itself was very clean; however the landscaping was in need of weeding. While we enjoyed our week, it will not work for our family to return again next year.

Great stay!

Convenient & Clean- no complaints
We walked to the beach and downtown South Haven everyday from this house and had no complaints, not even from our youngest who are 6 and 4. The living room is on the small side for 8-10 people but the back deck and front porch are roomy and the places to be if you’re at this house in nice weather and not sleeping. Bedrooms all have plenty of room for the beds placed in them.
Kitchen is well stocked with things a family or larger group need. The outside grill is decent and usable.
The house was as advertised, clean when we arrived, had plenty of bath towels for a larger group, and was well stocked for our use… nothing to complain about.

We had a girls weekend and really enjoyed the home and the location was perfect. It’s a three block walk to the lake and the Kid’s Corner. The kitchen was well stocked, back deck and table very nice, especially with the nice lights. The front porch is so cute! Beds were very comfortable. The only downside is that both bathrooms are downstairs, but it was completely doable. The master bath is very tiny, but again, very doable.
Thank you for the wonderful stay! The town is also very nice, too.

We loved everything about our stay! The home was spotless upon arrival, a comfortable temperature, and easy to get in when we arrived late at night. The set up was wonderful for our family of 3. We especially enjoyed the quaint front porch and well laid out back deck and grill. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a family getaway. And the location was more perfect than we could have imagined!! Thank you so much Chipouras family!

Fantastic location!
The property is in a great location literally (not exaggerated closeness) 2 blocks from the lake and 1 block to both kids corner and the trail to Van Buren State Park!
The bed in the downstairs bedroom was very comfy.
Please note: the bathroom attached to the downstairs bedroom is wonky for anyone peeing standing up and taller than 4'. There was an additional downstairs bathroom so no biggie. Also, I wasn't able to find live TV.

Fantastic Getaway Cottage in a perfect location!
We rented this cottage for a girls' post-Thanksgiving getaway. It is wonderfully renovated, spacious enough for 3 adults to chill out and relax, but close enough to the Lake and town for sightseeing and retail/restaurant activities. We used all 3 bedrooms and were unanimous in our reviews of the excellent quality of sleep/mattresses/comfort/quiet. The kitchen was well appointed with plenty of cookware for those eat-in meals. We loved having the rail trail system right across the street for a morning walk. South Haven was pretty lively for end of November and even in the a wintry mix, the walk to town was not too bad. Molly was a wonderful host, checking in and responsive to questions. We are already planning a summer return!

Birthday Getaway Weekend
Nice place just a couple blocks from the lake. Bed was comfortable and it had all amenities needed for a home away from home. Only issue was getting my streaming service for live tv (YouTubeTV). I couldn't find the app on any of the services provided on the smart TV and DVD player. Didn't really need it anyways as we were out visiting breweries most of the time.

We absolutely loved our stay at the corner cottage and the pictures are exactly how it looks in person. The home was very clean and the electronics were updated which was great. I did not realize how close we really were to the beach and the kids corner park, it was so nice to walk there. I will recommend it says up
To 10 people we had 4 adults and 1 infant and we were comfortable. The owner Molly was great with communication and was very easy to get a hold of her. It was a great experience and can’t wait to go back again.

Wonderful home!
We stayed in the Cottage on the Corner for a long weekend at the beginning of October… 2 families, 5 kids- It was a reunion weekend for us since before covid, and this turned out to be such a great place for us to meet and spend time together! The corner lot offers a nice amount of yard space, so our 4 and 7-year-old boys played lots of football and hide and seek. The weather was beautiful when we were there, and we enjoyed lots of morning and evening time on the front porch and the back deck. The proximity to Kids Corner and the beach is just awesome… So great with young kids to be able to quickly walk to either, and we spent many hours at both. The house was very clean, kitchen well-stocked, and there was enough space in both the master and the room upstairs with a queen for a pack-n-play or air mattress. It was a wonderful place to stay; the kids had a blast of a weekend, and we all really enjoyed our time there.
